Troubles while replacing rack and pinion..

I bought a remanufactured rack and pinion from autozone today cause mine was shot. The rack and pinion came with instructions on how to bleed the system, 3 o rings(2 the same size, 1 smaller one) and of course the rack and pinion. I guess the o rings go in the feed and return ports? But it is unclear, since there are no o rings on the fittings into the R/P now? And why are there 3 o rings if there is only 2 ports? Anybody know any info on this?

1996 4Runner 3.4L 4wd

And yes, I searched.

I am suppose to run Paytte Draw saturday, I need this thing done tonight. Thanks for any help..

The online manual does not show any o rings on the P/S lines going into the R/P gear, it looks more like compression fitting, similar to a brake line into a caliper. So why is there o rings in the box? Anybody?
